crash when playing content with VDPAU enabled - basco - 2012-04-10

I have 4 ubuntu 11.04 xbmc boxes at home.
They all have the same symptoms since Eden.
When playing a stream XBMC crashes.

The 4 boxes have different hardware except that they all have a G210 graphics card.
When i disable VDPAU the problem goes away (that is not an option of course...)

Doen anyone know what to to about this? BIG THANKS!!

Did you manage to fix this issue, as I have exactly the same error. Interestingly, I've also tried the latest beta OpenElec and the same issue occurs.



RE: crash when playing content with VDPAU enabled - gmakki - 2012-05-13

Hi,

I get the same errors in the debug log before XBMC freezes. In fact I had been having this already with previous XBMC releases, so this is not an Eden problem for me...
The problem occurs quite randomly, at least I could so far not detect any pattern or relationship with the movie or anything else...

Here are the symptoms (running on the official XBMCBuntu Eden on nVidia GeForce9400 GPU, with the 295.33 driver):

1) Select a movie
2) Press Play
3) The "Working" hourglass appears in the corner
4) The screen goes sort of half-way dim
5) The timer starts ticking away
6) Sometimes the first few seconds of the audio play, but no video
7) Key presses are still being detected (according to the debug log)
8) Pressing Stop will stop the counter, but I never get returned to the menu
9) XBMC frozen...

Here is an excerpt from the debug log, but as said, pretty much the same as basco has above, with the Broken pipe on GetDelay / snd_pcm_delay...

Is this is enough input to figure whether the freeze is related to VDPAU?

Many Thanks!

RE: crash when playing content with VDPAU enabled - rpj999 - 2012-05-13

I'm also running the official XBMCBuntu Eden on an nVidia GeForce9400 GPU and am experiencing identical errors as gmakki outlined. The steps are identical and, likewise, I'm also unable to detect a pattern of what causes it.

Hope someone will be able to provide some insight/guidance....

RE: crash when playing content with VDPAU enabled - FernetMenta - 2012-05-14

Looks like the video thread hangs in a GLX call which is needed to setup interoperability between vdpau and OpenGL. This should not happen but might occur in a combination of XBMC, NVidia driver and Linux kernel. Users with similar problems have reported improvement after they have changed NVdia driver, others Linux kernel. BTW: driver 280 is not very stable for multi-threaded gl applications like XBMC. I think 280 is still nvidia-current for Ubuntu 10.10.
Nevertheless I have redesigned our interface to vdpau. A tester with the same problem as stated in this thread reported that the issue was cured. The work is not in master yet but review process is started.

Well that's good news then as there seem to be an awful lot of people experiencing this error, me included.


RE: crash when playing content with VDPAU enabled - gmakki - 2012-05-15

Good to know the bug is recognized and a fix under consideration & review!

You mention driver 280.xx, but I am now running the latest working driver which is 295.33 with that problem,
so I guess the fix is not going to come from a revised nvidia driver alone...

Thanks!

That's my log of when XBMC stops responding, pretty much the same as everyone else's I think.

Out if interest, what skin are you all using when this happens?



RE: crash when playing content with VDPAU enabled - gmakki - 2012-05-15

I am using the standard Confluence.

Confluence, PM3HD and Metropolis with all the same results.


RE: crash when playing content with VDPAU enabled - basco - 2012-05-15

I'm using Confluence too.
I also regularly have the scenario gmakki decribes.
I made a panic button on my remote to reboot the set when this happens Smile

@fernetmenta: i can't wait to use this new vdpau interface.

What didn't help for me is installing x-swat or edgers... i got the same error + some additional ones Wink

In this case you can compile from source and report back if it really solves this problem.

This works! No more freezing!


RE: crash when playing content with VDPAU enabled - gmakki - 2012-05-17

One interesting observation, now that I changed to Aeon Nox, this VDPAU freeze happens a lot more often..
